Really a crankshaft was $200? Maybe in 1965 but buddy a crank or cam repair is easily a grand. And maybe if you were lucky enough to have a repair space you could get the part for $400 and then spend a week and a half rebuilding your engine. $200 bucks and weekend my ass. Granted it's still cheaper than a battery replacement on a Cybertruck but don't exaggerate how much of a pain in the wallet ICE cars are.
